Ed Roland

> Ed's first quality guitar was a Yamaha SG2000. "That's what everyone I liked played back in the '80s," he says. "Duran Duran. Big Country. It's such a cool guitar. It's one big, solid piece of wood, and it sustains forever. Unfortunately, mine got stolen. For all these years I wanted another one, but they were hard to find."
